XP firewall is giving me fits again. I had completely disabled it and
everything worked great for a while. But when I downloaded and
installed MS's design-fukkup-fix a few days ago it appears that part
of the fix was to re-enable XP firewall and install a new component of
it which wasn't even there the last time. I'm back to manually
entering ports into the thing, and it is back to puking them up again
a day or so later. I have no idea why. It will be Sunday before I have
the time and energy to fart around with figuring out how to disable
the damned thing again.
